The reduction in Turbo lag was very noticeable too. It cost me about $599 if I remember correctly and was money well spent. http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_20tsivl_long.html Other than this an upgrade to the intercooler and intercooler pipe seems to provide some more slight HP gains and reduce turbo lag a slight bit more. The car is fast when that turbo kicks in, just a matter of getting it to that point.If you are looking to do some of the computer tweaks and unlock some of the hidden settings I highly recommend the USB-HEX cable and software from Ross-Tech, they make it super easy. Runs about $349. Thanks, yours sounds nice as well! :)

If you like tweaking you should pick up a Ross Tech cable as there are a lot of hidden little things you can enable through the cars computer. The included software makes it a snap :) http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCHUC.html Yes, they are great cars!

These wheels were actually part of the S-Line package which were the RS4 wheels from the previous generation A4 (like you mentioned). I liked these wheels so much I canceled an order I had for an S4 and look the A4 S-Line :) I didn't mind saving a few bucks in the process. Thanks!

I have the same car. A few years older and I put the RS4 wheels on mine. Did yours come with those wheels or did you buy those? Beautiful car. Wish I could see inside ;) Enjoy!!! Congrats.

There are only a handful of S-Line models here in my area so it really stands out from the standard A4's. I picked up most of my parts though some local performance shops and was lucky to have an APR dealer here for the ECU flash. If nothing else, flash the ECU...significant gains from that alone. If you can afford to let the car breathe a little better through the intercooler and exhaust it will absolutely scream! Marc,

I have the exact same 2010 A4 Sline quattro. just wondering who you were going to get to source these parts through as i would love to do a similar upgrade to mine. Thanks Hi Chad

My problem is that my A4 has ADS (Audi Drive Select) so I have to be very careful with the suspension. Not even sure if I can lower it at this point, but I'll be researching the matter. Either way, this will be the last thing I do after my exhaust and intercooler upgrades :) I’m not a huge fan of the lowered look, but it could use maybe a .5 to 1″ drop.
